Calls at midnight. Patients who never turn up. Three clinics, three timings, one diary. It is not just your receptionist. It is the whole system. Watch how OPDesk sorts it on WhatsApp, in under two minutes.
Five problems every doctor knows
These are the five problems in the video, and what changes when patients book on WhatsApp and you run the day from the OPDesk app.
| Who it hurts | The problem | With OPDesk |
|---|---|---|
| Patient | Calling at midnight for an appointment | Books on WhatsApp. You sleep. |
| Patient | Booked. Never turned up. | Gets a reminder on WhatsApp. |
| Doctor | 3 clinics. 3 timings. 1 diary. | All clinics. One app. |
| Doctor | Reschedule? 20 calls to make. | Reschedule in two taps. |
| Receptionist | On leave? Chaos. | On leave? Appointments carry on. |
In the video, a patient books at 11:40 pm by sending "Hi" to the clinic's WhatsApp number. The doctor then sees the appointment in the OPDesk app. The patient needs no app, and OPDesk takes no commission on any appointment. Your patients stay yours.
